Job description

Overview

Recruitment Leader - Network Finance Africa.

Our client – a respected, forward-thinking financial services institution – is seeking an Executive Leader to design, launch, and lead a Data & Analytics Centre of Excellence at enterprise scale.

This is a rare opportunity to drive transformation at the highest level, within a business that views data as a strategic asset for innovation, performance, and long-term growth.

The Opportunity

As the Executive responsible for Data & Analytics, you will take full ownership of the organisation’s data strategy – setting the direction, building the capabilities, and embedding a culture where data is central to decision-making and value creation.

Key Responsibilities

  • Define and implement a bold, enterprise-wide data and analytics strategy aligned to business priorities.

  • Champion data governance, data quality, and compliance to build trust in data across the business.

  • Lead the design and adoption of scalable data management and architecture frameworks.

  • Collaborate across functions – including Risk, Finance, Actuarial, and Compliance – to embed analytics into strategic and operational decision-making.

  • Influence major technology and infrastructure decisions to support a flexible and future-ready data environment.

  • Build and lead a high-performing team, fostering a culture of excellence, collaboration, and accountability.

Your Background

  • We’re looking for an influential leader who brings a rare blend of strategic vision, technical know-how, and business acumen.

  • A strong academic foundation (Bachelor’s in Data Science, Statistics, Actuarial Science, Mathematics, Computer Science, or a related field; Master’s preferred).

  • 8+ years of experience in data, analytics, or tech leadership roles within financial services, telecoms, or banking.

  • At least 3 years in a senior/executive leadership capacity, with a track record of enterprise-scale impact.

  • Proven ability to translate business needs into technical solutions that deliver measurable value.

  • Deep understanding of South African data governance frameworks and regulatory requirements.

  • Technical fluency with modern data platforms – including Azure Synapse, SQL, and enterprise data tools.

This is more than a job.

It’s a career-defining opportunity to build a data legacy – from vision through to execution – within one of South Africa’s most respected and innovative financial institutions.

If you're motivated by the chance to lead transformative change and create long-term value through data, we’d love to hear from you.
